Tuesday, November 4, discussion will focus on the The Thirteenth Tale by
Diane Setterfield, and on Tuesday, December 2, conversation will focus on
Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O'Nan. Comments Twilight Book Club
organizer and Friends Vice-President Debra Perry, "We're providing the
list of upcoming books so members -- new and returning -- can read
selections in advance and come to the discussions fully prepared. While
we do have an active core group, we always welcome new members to the
Twilight Book Club."

A doll clothes sale will be held Wednesday, October 8, from 9:30
a.m. to 7:30 p.m. An assortment of clothes will be available to purchase
including party dresses, jumpers, pants, blouses, faux fur and fleece
coats, nightgowns and robes, skirts, sweaters and hats. Items are
designed to fit American Girl dolls, and proceeds from the sale benefit

The Friends continue to collect gently-used books for its fall
children's book sale (date to be announced). Donations will be accepted up
to and continuing through the sale, and items can be brought directly to
the Lane Library children's room. Picture books and easy readers are
especially appreciated.

The Friends are also selling 2009 Entertainment Books featuring

book contains a membership card good for two-for-one dining as well as
discount coupons for shopping, movie tickets, travel, goods and services
in New Hampshire, Southern Maine and Massachusetts. Individual books are
$25 and can be purchased at the Library’s circulation desk. The books
